Hi all, would like to know which one is the most comfortable for touring. I will not be towing, just the two of us plus camping gear.Is there any difference apart from room?

If budget is no problem, then the V8 in Diesel.
You should book a
test drive at your local Toyo dealer, back-to-back drives with your two options and you will feel the difference
If money is a serious consideration , then more so go for the
test drive
Good luck - it is a nice "problem" to have ;-)

Be very careful of taking both for a
test drive! We originally were going to buy second hand, could not find a good one that suited what we wanted and then we took several new 4wd vehicles for drives. Then we took a Landcruiser 200 series for a
test drive. We have had ours for 2 ½ years now, just about to click over the 100,000 k’s mark and absolutely love it. The V8 twin turbo diesel makes touring a dream and makes for a very capable 4wd when needed.

I take it your talking current models?
A little more information would be helpful!
If talking current models I would take both for a drive and see what you think, I would not rule out the D4D Prado either.
We have a 2011 200 series VX diesel ...... wife likes it and I ....
well lets just say I'm not overly fond of it.

I doubt you need another vote, as you've had so many but we love our V8 2009 Landcruiser 200 Series, Sahara model. There isn't anything I think I could do to improve it, apart from a GVM upgrade!
Out of the interests of fairness though, if you do end up doing
test drives on both I'm sure we'd all be interested in your thoughts.
